The OpenDNS Anti-Censorship Policy
Today we published a new policy. It's something we've always honored, but we're so firm in our convictions about this particular topic that we felt it necessary to share our stance officially.
OpenDNS is the easiest way to protect you from identity theft websites known as "phishing."
With so many tempting, fraudulent websites on the Internet it's hard to know what's safe to click. Thankfully phishing emails and websites that aim to trick you into handing over personal or financial information are caught and immediately blocked by OpenDNS.
Even though they often appear to come from a trusted bank or online service, OpenDNS takes the guesswork out of spotting these dangerous links and protects everyone on your network. Even if a link manages to trick you, OpenDNS prevents the phishing website from loading.
